[CHORUS:]
First you say that you have to go away 
I never should have been with you anyway 
Now you say you want to stay 
It's too late, 'cause I'm sending you on your way 
You say that you have to go away 
I never really loved you anyway 
Now you say you want to stay 
It's too late, it's too late 

Like a puppet on a string 
You came and took control of me 
Would've given anything 
To be your one and only 
Filled my head with fantasies 
Of what one day you'd give to me 
Full of hope for what could be 
(I sat and waited patiently) 

[CHORUS]

For a time you were for me 
Everything that I could need 
Gave me time and diamond rings 
But something else was missing 
You never stayed the whole night through 
I suffered, prayed and cried for you 
After all that we've been through 
I feel I never even knew you 

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE:]
There's no need to call me on the phone 
I don't wanna hear from you no more 
No need, don't call 
Don't be a fool and stand outside my door 
'Cause being the woman that I am 
I got to go on with other plans 

[BREAK]

[CHORUS]
